Alice’s Restaurant is a popular hangout for hungry bikers in the Bay Area.

Peninsula Press reporters have created a six-part collaborative video project on unique hangout spots in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. The videos profile individuals in a character-driven narrative to reveal hidden aspects of these communities.

Why do people return to these places? What makes the environments special? What is something only people “in the know” would understand?

At each of the hangout locations in this series, we’re hoping to reveal what is unique, what the people who hang out there have in common, and what they find most fulfilling.

This video features Alice’s Restaurant, a popular diner nestled in the hills of Woodside, Calif. Motorcycle enthusiasts gather here for meals, and regulars pile into their favorite tables for early morning weekend breakfasts. Outside, bikes and classic cars fill the parking lot. Watch to learn why this hangout means so much to the northern California biker community. View Video >>
